extra credit-

my reverse outline


thesis:
Using a literary lens, I’ll be analyzing the effectiveness of 21st century political propaganda by their conventions, rhetorics, and affordances/constraints.

Outline:

-why it is important to understand rhetorics in political campaigning)

-How barack used a smart slogan to appeal  to voters and proved his political poster is successful

-Political propaganda can be found outside of presidential elections

-Common era posters with an indirect audience and its effectiveness

Reflection

my initial organizational attempt was to point out the topics I would look at that prove a propaganda poster is effective, and how they're also different. political propaganda can be very different because its all about pushing a specific rhetoric, from a different side or argument. so introduced the opening paragraph after my introduction about things posters can all feature. then followed it with different examples that argue a different side from a different time period with different things happening within the time period, in term of politics. then i followed with constraints and what it could not do within its period. 

moving, forward i need to better analyze my argument and get examples that better line up with it. i don't necessarily have to point out what it can or can not do in different paragraphs. i can put them all in the same paragraph when analyzing different  examples, since i'm analyzing effectiveness then i can look at each one, how effective it was based off of the things i put in my thesis and compare those example's to the following examples. i truthfully also think my thesis isnt the best so that can use work.

PB1B: Plug'n Chug'n conventions

Conventions just keep popping up everywhere!

SCIgen: engineering papers

conventions

• lengthy title
• well structured
• graphs
• serious, professional tone
• factual information
• cited work
• argumentative/ informative

Pandyland: 3-panel comics

these comics were a little weird and this is the most.

• adult audience
• passive aggressive tone
• short and simple
• dry humor
• color ful
• speech bubbles
• hand written textual effect and design

memegenerator: popular memes

a "meme" is kind of hard to define but its: a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

conventions:

• short, bold lettered, sentence or phrase over a humerous photo
• photo matches the attitude/mood of text or vice versa
• funny
• age group varies
• photo follow the trends/ symbols of generation (i.e from kermit came the term "tea")
• can be contradictory (bottom right)

poem generator: self explanatory
i suck at poetry so i found a website that generates them for me based on some generic poem conventions.

1."Desolation is a misty breeze.

Never desire a cloud."

2. "The driver stops like a fast guy.

Dark, rainy sidewalks calmly buy a dead, faceless corner.

Lights stop like fast hoods.

Never get a flower.

The rainy driver roughly desires the slum."

conventions:

• specific terms (i.e screenshot)
• poems can be longer or shorter
• structured in stanzas
• rhyming scheme (aba, abb, abc)
• tone varies but usually reference an emotion/feeling
• imagery, yet can be vague
• poems can be about anything or anyone or any event

these are all very different pieces of work which at first glance are very different. we go from a genre with more serious conventions and a formal tone like a science engineering paper, to a comic strip with heavy satire. meme and poems are totally different too in term of conventions, asides that they both feature a verbal communication intended to get a reaction. memes make you laugh. poems can make you feel a range of emotions. poems and the science essays are both structured pieces. cartoon strips and memes are both humorous in their own way, regardless of how their humorous traits are executed to the audience. 

ultimately to be behind one of these websites, you basically do the same thing i did, which is to take conventions from each genre and apply it. it is using a combination of these genres to create something users would want and is acceptable for that particular genre.

PB1A: perfect social media bios--EVERYTIME

Social Media Bios

the hardest part in making your social media profile is not the username... its the bio. the bio can make or break your page. what will you write? should you even use words? what about just emojis? short and sweet? or sassy and structured? here are three examples of social media bios

Conventions:

• short
• funny
• straight to the point
• creative/unoriginal
• slight emoji use 
• informal/formal
• differs person to person
• is on your social media profile  (i.e instagram, or twitter)

Rhetoric:

• audience- any other user within that social media app, potential custemors, followers, 
• purpose- to reel people in; to inform users of who you are/ what you do; to entertain; to sell

Examples of Good Social Media Bio's:

Some of the conventions that apply to the acount bio's:


my personal profile:

• descriptive
• short and simple
• informative

Ruby Rose ( celebrity)

• bio is lengthy, but creative
• descriptive
• informal

Kim kardashian (influencer/celebrity):

annotating 101 - learn from the pros

if you saw my annotations in person, they look like chicken scratch. thanks technology.

raz (yours truly): 

• uses underlining of certain pieces of text that she really agrees with, and makes her think
• dashes to draw her attention to key facts of his argument
• stars and circles for things she likes and didn't understand, respectively.

Quite honestly i annotate as if i am thinking on paper, and very random. 

keymerz:

• underline and circle
• sad or smiley faces
• looked for facts she didn't agree with or didn't know

raet: 

* he is basic he highlights, bc he knows if he refers to it he will know what he was thinking

* highlights new words that are unclear or ?

* new facts

* talked about the authors recommendations

if the text is easy to read, or maybe if it isn't, annotation at my free will is useful. i can get through the reading in one go and not have to waste my time re-reading if i annotate correctly. 

i did not annotate in high school, but i should have, it makes english class easier.
